Dubai art festival begins Sunday

The Dubai Canvas Festival begins on Sunday with the focus this year on 3D art.

The week-long festival, which is organised by Brand Dubai, will include a 3D exhibit in The Beach, opposite Jumeirah Beach Residences, as well as special workshops and lectures by renowned international artists such as Kurt Wenner, the inventor of 3D Art, and Peter Westerink, founder and director of Planet Streetpainting.

There will be two children’s art display areas and the festival also provides an opportunity for Emirati artists to showcase their skills.
